TOY BUBBLE-BLOWER.-

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,400, datedSeptember 29,1885.

Application filed April 4, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES L. LINNEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Danville, in the county of Boyle and State of Kentucky, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Bubble-Blowers, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

IO My invention relates to improvements in toybubhle-blowers, and isdesigned to produce a blower that will form an indefinite number ofbubbles from one filling, either large or small, as desired.

r 5 The improvement consists, essentially, in

the form and combination of the parts.

In describing the device reference is had to the annexed drawings, inwhich Figure 1 rep resents a side elevation of the device, and Fig.

2 a longitudinal section thereof.

The bowl A is concaved 011 top at B, and may be somewhat longer thanthose used-for tobacco-pipes. The lower and smaller end is alsoconcaved, as shown at O. A stem, D, is

provided, and is inserted in the side of the bowl in a short passagethat leads to the interior of the said bowl. The said interior is largeenough at the upper end to receive a short hollow stem, E, projectingfrom a flexible reservoir, E, which normally rests in the concave B. Thelower end of the bowl has a small orifice, G, communicating with theinterior of the bowl, and is also provided with a removable ring orsleeve, H, which has a tapered passage through it, so as to fit the endof the bowl. The lower side of the ring is ooncaved.

The bowl may be of various sizes and shapes.

By filling the reservoir with aliquid adapted to the purpose, andplacing it on top the bowl, and then gently pressing it the liquid willbe forced in small quantities into the pipe. A gentle blowing throughthe stem will cause bubblesto form on the lower edge, small ones withoutand large ones with the ring.

I claim 1. A toy bubble-pipe having the end on which the bubbles areformed of comparatively small diameter, and having a supplementary ringor sleeve removably attached to said bubble end, substantially as andfor the purpose specified.

2. A toy bubble-pipe having a'bowl large at one end and small at theother, and concaved at each end, provided with a flexible reservoirnormally resting on the larger end, and having a supplementaryconcaveended ring or sleeve reniovably attached to the smaller end,substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES L. LINNEY.
